In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Sshwifty on the latest version of Debian. Sshwifty is a powerful tool that allows you to tunnel data between two computers securely over an SSH connection.
First, let's install Git on your system if it is not already installed. Run the following command to install Git:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
Next, let's clone the Sshwifty repository from its GitHub page. Use the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/nirui/sshwifty.git
This will create a new directory named sshwifty in your current working directory.
Before running Sshwifty, you need to install some dependencies. You can install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
Now that we have all the dependencies installed, let's build and install Sshwifty. Navigate to the sshwifty directory that we cloned earlier and run the following commands:
cd sshwifty
make
sudo make install
This will build and install Sshwifty on your system.
To make sure Sshwifty is installed and functioning correctly, let's run a simple test. Open two terminals on your system - one to act as the server and one as the client. On the server terminal, run the following command:
sshwifty listen:8080
This will start a server listening on port 8080. Now, on the client terminal, run the following command:
sshwifty connect:localhost:8080
This will establish an SSH connection to the server and forward all traffic from localhost:8080 to the server. Now you can test the connection by opening a web browser on the client machine and going to http://localhost:8080.
If you can see the web page, then Sshwifty is installed and working correctly!
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Sshwifty on the latest version of Debian. You are now ready to use this powerful tool to tunnel data securely over an SSH connection.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
